The Cars - Move Like This Album Lyrics

I'm trading in the alley
I'm booking up a storm
Forget about reality
'Cause nothing is the norm
Yeah yeah

So what can you do
You say
They owe me a few yeah
Blue tip of your cue yeah

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave without a trace

All set to weary your heartland
Black and white TV
Stroking all the gunheads
Into the ninth degree

You here the screamers coming
They clamour in disguise
You think that you'd be running
To the other side
Yeah yeah

So what can you do
You say
They owe me a few yeah
Blue tip of your cue yeah

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
Can't fill an empty space

(Ahh)
You stupify the thinkers
(Ahh)
You're hugging all the flakes
(Ahh)
And all the things you think are true
(Ahh)
Only mystify the fakes

Well keep your hat on backwards
And keep your lips tucked in
The world is full of quackers
And belly button rings

I know you'd like to be immune
To the things they say
You're hung up on your heroes
And upon the beast you pray
Yeah hey

What can you do
You say
Well they owe me a few yeah
Blue (blue) tip of your cue yeah

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave without a trace

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave a bitter taste

I remember times
Things were pretty clear
Felt the pressure pawns
Threw away the fears

I believe in you
And your sultry side
I would never jump
Your never-ending ride

My feet are on the ground
I'm in the lost and found
I might sway and tip
But never jump that ship

I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
Ya know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around

And you say
It's too late
All the storms in life
You have to contemplate

You say
It's too late
When the mornings rise
You gotta celebrate

You may cross the line
Or suck a clementine
But I know for sure
I need you nevermore

There's dreamers on the fringe
There's lovers on the binge
Nobody really knows
That's just the way it goes

I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
You know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around

And you say
It's too late
All the storms in life
You gotta contemplate

You say
It's too late
When the mornings rise
You gotta celebrate

I can take a fall
Or hang it on the wall
No matter whatcha think
I'm always on the brink

You can throw a twist
And I can move like this
They give ya lots of slack
Then somethin' pulls you back

I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
Ya know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around

And you say
It's too late
All the storms in life
You gotta contemplate

You say
It's too late
When the mornings rise
You gotta celebrate

And the half breeds holler
They're educated guesses
And they got a lot of cheers
You guessed it you guessed it

They keep you in follow mode
They keep you in follow mode
Take the street you never rode
They keep you, they keep on knocking
Like the partys on, they keep on knocking
Like the partys gone from dark til dawn

I got some friends
In random places
All kinds of ideas
All kinds of faces

They keep their ready shoes on
They keep their shirts on ice
And they're looking for the future
To loosen the vice

They keep you in follow mode
They hold up their signs
They keep you in follow mode
Most of the time

They keep on knocking like the partys on
They keep on knocking from dark til dawn

They keep you in follow mode
They hold up their signs
They keep you in follow mode
All the time

They keep on knocking like the partys on
They keep on knocking yeah from dark til dawn

You could turn me down or over twice
You could treat me mean or treat me nice

But soon the time will come I know what I put you through
The time will run away from us like time it will do

You're my lover and forever my friend
When I touch you I never want it to end

When the starry night is left to dawn
The thought of you just keeps me dreaming on

But soon the time will come I know what I put you through
The time will run away from us like time it will do

When I need you, you will always be there
And you're my lover we can go anywhere

When the starry night is left to dawn
The thought of you just keeps me dreaming on

But soon the time will come I know what I put you through
The time will run away from us like time it will do

I know what I put you through

Too many eyes
Looking for hope
Too many tears
Looking for a way to cope
It's no joke

It's just a sad song
That pulls you along yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

Too many thoughts
Breaking your stride
Too many jekylls
Feeling like a Mr. Hyde

Too many clouds
Darken your day
Too many rain drops
Falling on your thunder bay
Everyday
Yeah

It's just a sad song
That pulls you along yeah
It's just a sad song
And you're getting it on

It's just a sad song
That pulls you along
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

Too many heartaches
Waiting to strike
Too many clowns
Saying everything's all right

Too many fires
Scorching your mind
Too many preachers
Saying what you should find
Just see the signs

It's just a sad song
That pulls you along yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

It's just a sad song
It pulls you along
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

It's just a sad song
A sad song yeah

It's just a sad song
And you're getting it on

It's just a sad song
Sad song
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

I tripped and stumbled in the dead of the night
Flashing my endless stream of kryptonite
I lit my brain with rainbow crystal lite
Must this drag on forever

Then things go so quite
Like I should not be here
You said I had to try it
Don't let me interfere
Just get me out of here

Your waxy face is melting on your lap
I sat there trying to crush a ginger snap
Your scream was sounding like a thunderclap
Must this drag on forever

Your coconut windows hid the light so well
Your testimony put me in a spell
You look so wasted that I could not tell
Must this drag on forever

Then things go so quite
Like I should not be here
You said I had to try it
Don't let me interfere
Please help me out of here

Must this drag on forever
Must this drag on forever
Must this drag on forever
Must this drag on forever

They're going to take the very thing
That's closest to your heart
They cannot mend your broken wings
You knew it from the start

So tell me...
Don't you want to take another look away
Don't you want to play the whole thing down
Don't you want to take another look away
Don't you want to take a look around

And rivers rolling to the sea
Clouds are breaking high
You can't find tranquility
Wherever it may hide

You played the game and now it's time
To keep the fire low
Silver trains are rolling by
You have no place to go

So tell me...
Don't you want to take another look away
Don't you want to play the whole thing down
Don't you want to take another look away
Maybe you could turn it all around

Your eyes are dim your heart is blue
Cause nothing ever lasts
It's all too many miles to you
The best of friends must pass

So tell me...
Don't you want to take another look away
Don't you want to play the whole thing down
Don't you want to take another look away
Maybe have another go around

And my thoughts were getting unrestrained
And I was looking like Ichabod Crane
I was looking for some serious fun
Cause a bad excuse is better than none

Then it hits me, yeah it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times

I was paranoid about the signs
They say it's just another dangerous times
I don't answer I just decompose
Cause I'm running with a painted rose

I don't relate to the things they say
And I don't want to be like them today
I know it's useless dumb and it's crass
But I guess I'm just a real outcast

Then it hits me, yeah it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times

I gotta just get through it
I gotta just get through it

You could talk me into bitter sweet
You could grab me off the bright night street
You gotta keep it really tight and warm
You gotta keep me laughing in the storm

Well the roads are feeling hollow and steep
And I want to sew what I reap
I keep forgetting what I just forgot
I don't know if I'm ready or not

Then it hits me, yeah it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times

I gotta just get through it
I gotta just get through these changing times
